About Your Trip

Looking to hook into big Red Snapper without heading miles offshore? Join Captain Adam for a State Water Snapper trip out of Corpus Christi, Rockport, or Port Aransas, and experience one of the Gulf Coast’s most rewarding fisheries—no federal waters required.

These trips are ideal for up to 4 anglers, and you’ll be fishing aboard Captain Adam’s custom 25’ flat-bottom boat, designed for versatility and a smooth ride in nearshore conditions. It’s the perfect platform for navigating the closer reefs, wrecks, and rock piles that Red Snapper love to hang around.

Whether you're an experienced angler or just looking to fill the cooler and have a great time, Captain Adam provides all the bait and tackle you’ll need. He typically runs bait-focused trips, adjusting to the day’s conditions to give you the best chance at hauling in quality fish. And don’t worry about the cleanup—fish cleaning is included, so you’ll head home with fresh fillets and great memories.

Captain Adam’s passion for fishing is evident in every trip he runs. He’s on the water all year long—scouting spots, refining techniques, and doing everything he can to make sure every charter delivers.

Bring your drinks, your crew, and your sense of adventure—Captain Adam will take care of the rest.

We vet our guides and only partner with the best of the best. Our guides do their very best to keep you safe, show you a great time, and send you home with a memorable experience shared with family and friends.
Once you've paid your deposit at checkout, we'll send you a QR Code boarding pass. Just show your guide your boarding pass on the day of the trip, they'll scan it, the remaining balance will transfer automatically, and you'll be all set to get out there. Just make sure you bring a cash tip for the guide!
In the event of inclement weather, our guides will check the conditions and make the final call on whether its safe to go on the trip. If they decide the trip needs to be postponed, we'll work closely with you to reschedule or provide a credit for the full deposit, which can be applied to any of our trips in the US and beyond.
Each trip's price is determined by the guide and reflects all associated costs. A significant factor in pricing is often the type of boat and the corresponding fuel expenses. Additional costs may include leases, marina or slip fees, and the expenses involved in providing and maintaining the necessary gear for your trip.
After booking your trip, we'll connect you directly with your guide to discuss additional details. In the meantime, our team is here to answer any questions via email, text, or phone.
